A man injured in a hit-and-run crash Tuesday night in the Northwest Side Logan Square neighborhood died Friday.

Efrain Rivera, 68, was struck by a vehicle about 9 p.m. Tuesday in the 3500 block of West Armitage, according to Chicago Police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. The vehicle then drove away east on Armitage.
